Today is the first day of Fall, which means it’s time to get out that old crock-pot that has been collecting dust all summer and start making all of the comfort food you can crank out of that little appliance. This is an easy pulled pork recipe with a chili powder rub that gives the pork a savory flavor. I like to serve it on corn tortillas with cheese and all of the fixings. So let’s get started making some Crock-Pot Pulled Pork to welcome in the fall season.
Start by chopping your half of an onion in slices.
Mix the chili powder, brown sugar, cumin, and salt in a bowl.
Place your pork shoulder in the crock-pot and add the 1 cup of chicken stock and then rub the seasoning over the pork.
Put the onion on top of the pork.
Cook the pork in the crock-pot for 6-8 hours on high. When it is done, it will pull apart easily. Take two forks and shred the meat.
If you are serving the pork on corn tortillas, like I did, you can heat them in a pan for 10-15 seconds over medium heat.
Then top them with a generous amount of cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, and even jalapeños if you want a little heat. Of course you can always serve the pulled pork in buns with BBQ sauce or just eat the meat on your plate plain. Now you have a pulled pork recipe to enjoy with your family and friends this fall.
